O2 Sensor Wiring bracket

Can someone please take a photo of the bracket that holds where the connection of the upstream O2 Sensor hooks into the wiring harness (or describe)? I replaced my cat and I think I have an aftermarket valve cover and the bracket is bolted onto the left side of the valve cover above cylinder #1. Now I can't put on a turbo heat shield because the wire itself is zip tied onto rail of the valve cover with these strange bolt zip tie holder combos. I can't find any diagram of just the bracket and wire routing. Sorry for stupidity. Any help appreciated.

Bracket is wring surely?

The bracket should be facing up and down not side to side, and the connector for the 02 sensors should be on the top side. I’ll get a pic in the am for you.


As close as I got right now

Right on! A close up would be great. I feel like an idiot but it was like this before and there's no obvious bolt hole other than the one off the dipstick. Thanks!

It should go down further towards where the ac fill line is. If you zoom in on first pic you can see the 2 holes on dipstick tube are where the factory wire ties to, that is my 02 sensor wire, the bracket you have goes down just a bit further down.

Maybe it bolts onto the head. See the third photo? There is a bolt hole on the far left.
